Before You Begin​

  • Work with Macrometa personnel to get credentials and access.
  • Collect information you will need:
    • Tags to be migrated

  • Make sure you have edit access to target pages and know how to add scripts.

After you have credentials and required information, follow these steps to get started with EST:

  1. Log in to EST. You can log in to the web console or get an API key and use the API.
  2. In the web console:
    1. Click Settings.
    2. Copy the script in the Script section into your target page. Replace <PhotonIQ-EST-HOST> with your EST host.

  4. Configure components as described in Manage EST Components.
  5. Work with Macrometa support to make sure the migration was successful.
